Hi, I'm Elly! I founded Let's Grab Coffee but also run some other things! I love coffee, going places, meeting people, trying new things, and animals!
:)
Who is this? I don't know you! That's my purse!!
Stranger Danger!
nothing more than a common thief am i!
I sell propane and propane accessories.
Yaaaas! @stile99 earned geek-cred on that one.
Yes.
Technically, all of them, thanks to admin god powers. For those who don't know me, I'm MisterWoodhouse, the Gaming Community Manager here on Imzy :)
Really though, I run /Imzy, /Leaders, /Gaming, /ARK, /Fallout, /World_of_Warcraft, /FluffyDogs, /Destiny, /ImzyWritesTheOffice, /SupportSmallerStreams, /reddit_0, and /MisterWoodhouse
bows to the admin
that leader tag tho
:P
hee
I figured it was appropriate while bowing.
[Tagging intensifies]
OH MY!!!!!
i just cant compete
Hi MisterWoodhouse I know you!
Hello again, MisterWoodhouse!
/ImzyWritesTheOffice = I'm so there!
There's a fluffy dogs community? I know what I'm joining next! ❤️
Hello! I was brought to Imzy by the TIME article about trolling by Joel Stein. I had recently left Reddit for the negative effects it was having on me, and was getting sick of Twitter because of a particular orange character who had Russian minions terrorize anyone who was not a white christian conservative.
I like baking, graphic arts-ing, listening to Sufi odes, and volunteering.
I run /Sufism and /AskIslam from a different account. I also run. Period. I may start a personal blog soon (I have a new slot for a community), but I'm not sure if I should really corrupt Imzy with my senseless garbage :P.
Green is my favorite color for many reasons. It's just nice.
My dream vacation would be to Scotland. I want to go there for many reasons, but the main one is that the unicorn is their national animal, so I want to get a photo.
My Question:
What is the BEST dessert, iyo?
Chocolate covered caramel cheesecake.
OH MY.
I need it! Now!
Whatever my answer was going to be, it is now this.
COOKIE DOUGH
COOKIE DOUGH!
But, like, raw? I hear it's not good for you to eat raw eggs and flour, but science never stopped us. That's why we aren't doing anything about global warming. #GreatestCountryOnEarth
Don't put the eggs in it (: or use pasteurized eggs! But I just put a little flax seed or oil in there instead of egg and NOMMM
I made oreo-cheesecake cookies a while back. The best thing about them, was that there were no eggs. I wanted to eat the dough so bad, but I was fasting, and I was like "eeeeeehhhhh, maybe not".
dough is so sinfully good
I like pumpkin pie or anything made with coconut... Nice to get to know more about you Salaam4Everyone!
I love pumpkin pie! And coconut. Almondjoy for the win.
Thank you!
I'm really not a big dessert fan, but when I want sweet, I want SWEET. So s'mores. Or maybe creme brulee. Or peach cobbler. But I'll also go with popcorn.
Message received. LOL. @Salaam4Everyone
YESS!!! I was waiting to see if anyone would catch on!
Pretty cool gif. Well done, giphy.
Hahaha I just happened to catch it while checking in on the thread and went "Hmmmmmm..."
I used to love to put secret messages in text when I was young.
I had one friend in school during middle school, and we used to send each other emails written backwards, because we were convinced the NSA was trying to figure out what we were saying. It was all senseless nonsense, anyway. Enjoy, NSA.
Also, it was always awkward when we had to write "this" backwards, because it was so close to being the S word XD. Good times.
The S word... You mean Sith!?! Hahaha
We were mad into star wars back in those days. I was always jealous because I thought I knew a lot about the star wars universe, and then my friend would list the names of all the different tanks off the top of his head. I wonder what he's doing now. Maybe he's helping America work on the Death Star.
Dream job! LOL
Pecan pie cheesecake with graham cracker crust.
It's my specialty.
Pecan pie cheesecake?
They make that? Is it even legal?
I make it. It's totally legal and unbelievable.
Unbelegalable?
It sounds... interesting. I have a bad opinion of pecans, but maybe that's just because I associate them with cheap pies. Maybe I should try them again sometime.
The best dessert is a dessert bar, so I can get a little of everything and don't have to pick.
Coffeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
But also yes I am happy to learn more about you too!
Hi! I love baklava. I collect different honeys from around the world, and Baklava gives me a great excuse to share them all! Honey is a miracle. I think that every time I have it.
Hi, Twining Ivy! (: I think honey is awesome too. My dad is a beekeeper!
OMG I envy you! Does he gift you with jars of it? We really want a beehive here, but we need to build up strong fencing around the area it's planned for, or our dogs will be ransacking it.
Yes! It is sooo amazing!!! The honey.
Strangely, the dogs he has don't bother the bees, but I understand the need for the fencing.
You should join /bees too if you love honey (: (:
I was really excited because I was going to learn to beekeep FROM him and it was going to be so cool, but then I got a medical thing where any arm injury is quite dangerous, so even with the suit on it is too dangerous to help him out! I was pretty sad. Beekeeping is sooo cool - I love seeing the intricate interactions in the hives.
I hope you start one and feel free to share about it! <3
I love baklava too!
It's funny that you say "Honey is a miracle", because in my religion, it is treated as such. A part of a verse in the Qur'an says, "There comes forth from their [the bees] bellies a drink of varying colour wherein is healing for men."
It's interesting that now scientists are proving the medical benefits of pure honey. More reason to eat/drink more!
I love the perfumes and flavours it captures. Each crop a record of the time and place and season of its harvest. A true 'terroir' as the French winemakers say! And then each has a story, and what it is - the wonder and appreciation of it just don't seem to wear off. I don't know why. Am I raving? I'm raving. I love it so much. :)
Honey4Everyone!!
HELP ME NEED COFFEE!!!!!
need recognized: drone delivery en route
:) First Amazon Prime Air, and now Starbucks Prime Air? Actually, I can see this being very helpful.
Siri! Get me a coffee delivered to my window!
Gives you coffee Hello! Ice cream!
Thank you! Hello :)!
Ice cream is amazing!
You're welcome! :)
It is! Tillamook is my favorite brand. I just need to get back to the factory someday. Cheese...ice cream....dairy as far as the eye can see. It's a wonderland.
Mmmm. Sounds like my kind of factory ;).
If you're ever in Oregon, I highly recommend it. It's probably my favorite place on the planet.
Hi I'm Lizzie! I found Imzy via some random tech blog that popped up in my suggested reading.
I have two little furballs Monster and Cthulhu they are cats... I think.
I live on caffeine. I need a regular dose of coffee or energy drinks in order to survive. Please run an IV stat.
You can find me co-leading here at LGC or our sister community /Moonbeam_Cafe for general interest chat and networking. Over at /ArtCollective to provide a landing pad for content creators (we need requests and creative types so go have a peek!). I also co-lead at /Spoonies for those of us who have chronic health issues and want to talk to others with similar struggles. At /Horror for all you creepy types! (tis the season!)... and Elly and I are running a podcast community full of sass over at /BaristaBitches too! Yeah... That's lots.
You can also spy on me at my own community /LizardQueen if you wanna!
My favourite colours are avocado green and /harvest_gold (shameless plug for another fab community I admit haha).
Okay that is quite enough!
Any fun questions for me that Elly didn't cover in the icebreakers suggestions?
But other than that, how was the play Mrs. Lincoln?
LOL sass.....
Hello! I'm Matt!
What brought me to Imzy? I read about it (probably on Tumblr?) and liked the idea of a platform that prioritized community building over exponential growth.
In my hometown, people flock to newly-opened restaurants like I've never seen. Last year, a Waffle House moved locations, and there were lines out the door for months.
Pets! Yes! Two cats (Aeris and Gwen) and one dog (Mikenna). They are the best. :)
I like tea and coffee. For coffee beverages, I like a good medium roast, French press, sometimes sweet but usually black. For tea, Adagio has the most amazing almond oolong blend.
I do run communities here! /arkyria is the home of my webcomic, and /hawkguyzero is my personal blog community thing. I also recently joined the staff of /imzy_herald :D
Not sure what my favorite color is. My favorite characters are Link and Hawkeye, so I'm a fan of the shades I think of as "Hero Green" and "Hawkeye Purple".
My dream vacation would involve a huge block of time to work on my assorted projects and maybe get out to do something fun every couple of days. SUPER INTERESTING, right? ;)
Hello! Nice to meet you!
Hello fluffywhitething!
Wowsa that is an all encompassing comment! Love it! Hi Matt!
I should be drawing but instead I'm putting the "pro" in "procrastination". Hi Lizzie!
There's a community for that... Hahaha
Hawkeye Purple FTW! Hi Matt! Nice to meet you!
I think "Hero Green" and "Hawkeye Purple" are fantastic colours! Great choices. What types of cats and dog are your cats and dog? I love the fluffy ones so much ;0;
Are waffles really that popular? Wow. :o
I love web comics! Will be looking out for updates on yours!
Hi, I'm Missy (thank you @Merah!)!
Dang, I'm trying to remember how I got my invitation. I'd go back and check my first post or comment, but so much scrooooooolling. I know I wanted to create a drabble community, though, if one didn't exist. And I did! PIMPPIMP /100words PIMPPIMP
Don't have one. Air Force brat.
Dawg and three fluffy cat-like things. But they're our kids.
Um. All?
I run them into the GROUND, man. Heeeee. /100words, /sorkinverse, /sleepless, /misbegotten, and I help wrangle /moonbeam_cafe.
/color_red. It's the color of my dreams. But I really like posting in /color_blue because it's such a cool community.
Stealing @Zork's Disney itinerary and getting a free trip to WDW! Or maybe going to the UK again. I guess I could try the totally legal and not ripping off a pal route. Sigh
Miiiisssssssssssyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!! <3
My family was not attached to the military but we moved around a ton. Do you ever miss always moving somewhere new?
Any favs? I used to live in London for a bit.
We still move around a lot. I thought I'd left that behind when I went to college, but nope!
I lived in York for a year and did a summer at Cambridge. I adore both. And any place with a cathedral, a castle, or a museum in the UK. Oh heck, I can't pick!
Hi Missy! "All" is a fantastic answer to the drink question. Why limit yourself to one special drink?
CAN'T MAKE DECISION! 😄
Hiii Missy!
Ah Air Force brat. Suddenly I get why we're friendos. Dad was Navy... Mom was Army. Hahaha.
Oh boy! Dad = AF, Mom = AF, Other Mom = Army, Other Dad = Army and AF! Even better, Mom was an officer and Dad was enlisted. Naughty!
LOL.
Growing up near the base I literally got "your mother wears combat boots" as an insult in primary school... I was like "yeah... So?" haha
And then I stole their shoes tied them together and threw them into a chestnut tree... Because I am terrible.
So true. But as I am a figment of your imagination, I think that makes me terrible too.
Annals, wench. Annals.
ANNALS.
Two N's dammit!
Ooh drabbles! Joins comm~
And yes you should go to the UK again. Definitely.
Welcome to /100words #1755! Or rather, dear @Pipsy! :D
Thank you thank you thank you! I miss the challenge of fitting everything perfectly into a limited number of words. ❤️!
Hi everyone! I'm Caitlin, and I came to Imzy because I've been looking for a fandom space that's more discussion-friendly than Tumblr and less of a ghost town than LJ. I run /code_black and /gilmoregirls and participate in a handful of other communities, but this is my first time in this one.
I have fibromyalgia and that limits my getting-out-of-the-house related interests somewhat; mostly I root for the Mets, watch a lot of tv, and spend all my free time on the internet. I have a dog named Bailey who thinks he's in charge and might actually be right. My favorite coffee beverage is a pumpkin spice latte so I basically live at Dunkin Donuts this time of year. Right now my dream vacation would be to just stay home and sleep for a week, but when fibro fatigue's not kicking my butt I'd probably say Paris. I've been there twice but it always seems like there's more I could have done there if I'd had the time.
Hello, Caitlin! I haven't met you yet! Hooray! (: (: (:
Pumpkin spice latte: I am a barista and make these every day!
Welcome to Imzy!
What is Paris like?
Hi Elly! I can imagine you're being overrun with requests for PSLs these days, ha. I would definitely drink them year-round if I could.
The last time I was in Paris was five years ago, but mostly I remember it being very clean. I was studying film history at the time so my favorite spots to hang out were this library of film-related books in Les Halles and the Museum of Cinema in the Cinematheque Francais.
Haha PSL reminds me of the latest podcast Elly and I did over at /BaristaBitches LOL!!
Yep!!!! ;)
A real new person!! Hi Caitlin!
I have fibromyalgia as well - or at least, that was a diagnosis given to me many moons ago when fibro was a "new" thing. Someday when I have the energy I will get my ass to a specialist (maybe).
Welcome - hope to see you around more!
LOL! I was starting to wonder...
Hi, and thank you!
LOL!!!
Hi Caitlin! Hooray for a friendly fandom space!
Hi real new person! <3
Hey Caitlin nice to meet you!
I used to LOVE Gilmore Girls! What do you think of them doing this new stuff?
I totally hear you on the chronic pain frustration I am dealing with some of that myself right now (which is why I am co-leading Imzy's /spoonies community).
There are almost always folks around here due to various time zones and schedules so if you're every feeling lonely pop in to say Hi! 💜
I was actually just talking to you over at /spoonies! Haha, I have a different username over there because I like to keep my fandom stuff separate from my spoonie stuff, but it's the same me. Nice to see you here too!
I'm really looking forward to the Gilmore Girls revival. I'm glad it's such a limited run, though--I trust the writers to give us a real sense of closure (even if they leave things a bit open-ended so it can be brought back in the future). There's nothing worse than anticipating a revival of one of your favorite shows only to have it end on a cliffhanger--looking at you, X-Files. Haha, but it'll be interesting to see how ASP can work in her original vision for the ending after all this time, and after the last season took place under other writers. I can't wait to see what they did.
Gotcha! I have a couple additional names on here most direct back to this one LOL.
I am seriously curious about what kind of stories they will tell with the revival. Should be good for nostalgia value at least. 💜
hi Caitlin! oddly enough, I don't think I've had a PSL yet this year, but I've gone nuts with other pumpkin-spiced delicacies like Oreos, Cheerios, and peanut butter. I'll have to swing by a coffee shop tomorrow. :)
I haven't gotten brave enough to try things like pumpkin spice Oreos, even though the ad is in my Facebook feed a dozen times a day. I did try pumpkin spice snickerdoodle cookies, though! It was like a pie and a cake combined into beautiful hand-held form. 10/10 would recommend.
pumpkin spice snickerdoodles?! that sounds... otherworldly
Ooh, my dog in England is called Bailey too! It's a good name. What type of dog is your Bailey?
Also, hello Caitlin and I agree with you on the appeal of the discussion-friendliness/not-deadness of imzy :D I'm sorry to hear about your fibromyalgia, a friend of mine has it too and has some really tough days as a result. Love <3
Hi Pipsy! My Bailey is a lab/hound mix. He's about twice as big as we were told he'd get to be, but he has the big floppy hound ears and when he wants something he can turn on the big sad hound eyes. What kind is your Bailey?
Hi, I'm Pippa but my stepdad calls me Pipsy and that works too. An old LJ/twitter friend introduced me to imzy (although I haven't really seen her around recently) and because tumblr is no good for me and I missed LJ, I signed up. My hometown is the birthplace of Christopher Marlowe and the destination of a group of people that Geoffrey Chaucer wrote about, so it has lots of history and tourists.
I have no animals with me here (dog back in England with my parents and another dog in Saitama with the husband's parents) and desperately want one, but our apartment building rules don't allow people to keep pets. The closest we get is a huge grasshopper which came in last night. I had never seen one fly before until we tried to help it get back outside!
Favourite coffee or tea beverage would be anything as long as it's hot, I think I might order an iced coffee perhaps once a year, if that. Communities, I run /far_from_home and /shakespeare as well as having just started my own personal blog at /pipsy. What else, dream vacation would be to Okinawa! I swear I'll get there one day. Favourite colours are all possible shades of blue, and occasionally some golden sunshine yellow too❤️
Hey Pipsy!!
I didn't know there was a Shakespeare community that's awesome!
I hope you get that dream vacation one day. 💜
Hey Lizzie! It was someone else's and then it died and then I got it instead! I'm really happy other people contribute to it too - @clown in particular might just be my hero.
Thank you re: the vacation! Okinawa is technically part of Japan so I should be able to get there really easily, but it's not super cheap and I've just never got round to going (and am almost scared to go tbh in case I got my expectations too high, haha). ❤️!
ah yeah I recognize clown from Horror! That's great.
Okinawa looks really amazing I don't think you could possibly be disappointed hehehe!
Ooo, shakesepeare! Way cool! I didn't know that was you, or far from home! Cool :)
I want a dog too <3
/bad_wolf (personal comm)
/av_club (come watch movies with us!!!)
/menstruation_station (for all your period needs and comforts)
/menstruation_station needs more shoutouts even if I lurk there
😍
Agreed. Love that place.
Hi Merah I also know you!!!
I cannot oversell Kauai, Hawaii then. The beaches are amazing and a bunch of them are really secluded, so you can just lay out and listen to the ocean. They also have a ton of fun stuff to do, like great surfing, awesome hiking, spectacular food, etc. I went 5 years ago and, in addition to having the time of my life, I sat about 3 feet away from Johnny Depp one night at dinner!
This sounds nice!
I will definitely keep this in mind - we're always looking for new spots to travel to!
I think @Merah needs to go to Kauai just so she can put her toes in the sand for me.
New life mission acquired
Have you had... Builder's...? I know this probably isn't exciting (and probably labels me quite plebian) if you're like from Britain or something, but I'm an awful American and it's amazing as cold milk tea. Mmmmm...
Also, Hi, I'm Firefly or possibly Mira, whichever is cool.
Yes. ( /Saicred, /gaming, /wouldyourather, /lets_grab_coffee, /moonbeam_cafe, /youtube, /nomanssky, /esports, /cheers )
Well long story, but I believe this post here covers it best - https://www.imzy.com/saicred/post/my_imzy_experience
I'm so tempted to create /Saicerd. So tempted. Fortunately, I can't. 💙
HAHAHA!!! I was like what...? Then I saw it.. fixed... haha on boy 3 horus of sleep in two days showing... work needs to chill out
I feel you, my friend.
Feel you. Not feel up. Let's make that clear. 😜
Hi. I don't think we've ever really officially met!
Hi, I'm that guy who is kinda always around but not... :) Like long walks on the beach, beer, and ice cream!
Hi. I'm that gal who is also kinda always around but not. :) I like... talking about my minions, erm, children, water, and salty foods.
Did we just become best friends!?
Sure!
Imzy-married!
What communities doesn't Saicred run really?
Shh... don't tell them my secrets...
Buy me a beer and I'll keep secrets. Promise. LOL.
I can do that!!! I'll buy me one too!!! :)
Seems like a reasonable thing to do! LOL
Ice breaker suggestions: what brought you to Imzy?
SRS Daily thread.
What's your hometown like?
Never sure if this means where I'm from or where I live now. Neither is really a town more like giant cities that are too big for their own good.
Do you have pets?
Yes. Two cats, two dogs, a bunch of fish, and three mini-humans.
What's your favorite coffee or tea beverage?
Hmm, chai, no, green tea, no, herbal tea... IDK. Tea of some sort, usually iced.
Do you run any communities on Imzy?
Well, I started /Judaism, /homeworkhelp, and /we_love_dick. I also help lead /musicals, /kindness, and this place here. And I have my own personal community of /mimiheart.
What's your favorite color and why?
purple because it's the best color
What is your dream vacation like?
somewhere quiet with books and nothing scheduled
wHo IS tHIs mIMi u SpEak of???? i dONut kNows U..
Ssshhh. It's a seeecreeet!
Hiii fluffywhitething I know you too!
Hi lizzie! <3
Not gonna lie, We Love Dick is my favorite community name so far. Really spectacular cheeky joke :)
Thanks. I really do love Dick Grayson. It's just a bonus that it makes a great community name.
I remember seeing the name in the community creation feed when you made it and, when I saw the description, I actually laughed out loud.
Totally. Best name ever.
Indeed! You will be honored in the annals of Imzy for that one @fluffywhitething!
I'm trying so hard to get witty with that without getting too filthy. It isn't working....
I DOUBLE-CHECKED the spelling, wench.
Hahaha I did a double take with it for sure... 😈
That's a lot of pets! I bet the mini-humans are extra hard to take care of. I keep seeing people with mini-humans talking about how they can't even tell the difference between food and their own hands. Helpless things. It'd be a miracle if their kind survives without human intervention.
And that's the most bigoted I've sounded in a while :P. We love you, mini-humans. Just please put the feces in the big white bowl.
My mini-humans are past that stage, thank goodness. I have two in the teenage stage and one in the not-quite teenage stage. These stages are far more fun in many ways. And TONS more frustrating in many others. I no longer fear the quiet, though.
Hi, I'm Bubbles! I came to Imzy because I can't let a social media thing pass me by, and also I really miss the community feel of LiveJournal. (Did I just date myself?) Coffee over tea, any day. Unless it's hot, and then iced tea because I'm Texan. I don't run any communities yet, but I may start up a writing one. I have an MFA in creative writing and I run a literary journal (poorly, at the moment, I'm afraid). I'm a pretty big nerd, and I'm okay with that. So you will probably see me around gaming and comics communities.
Hey Bubbles! Gaming AND Comics!? Can we be friends? I weirdly don't post in those areas too often for whatever reason...
What is your favourite comic right now?
I am broke and not allowed in a comic shop right now. (Sadly easy, as the closest one is 3 hours away.) My local library gets trades in, but weirdly it's like volume two and five of things. Very frustrating. I'm usually a DC girl, but I have been swayed to Marvel and really digging Ms. Marvel and Captain Marvel. A lot of what I've been reading have been YA graphic novels via my daughter's bookshelf. So Raina Telgemeyer and the Holms. Oh and Lumberjanes! I love Lumberjanes. Basically, if it's a comic, I will read it.
Awesome! I actually haven't checked out Lumberjanes but have heard great things. I usually lean towards Image and DarkHorse for my comics but I was a DC girl for years. 💚
Another literary nerd type! ((Cheering))
Yay!
Bubbles! My sister is a Texan.
Hey - I also have an MFA in Fiction Writing!!!! Hi, fellow writer! :) :) :)
Did you enjoy you MFA?
Hey there! I have mixed feelings about my MFA. It wasn't a bad time, but in retrospect it probably wasn't the best fit for me. But! I did meet a lot of really awesome people, including my co-founder for my literary journal and our poetry editor. And I discovered that I really really love editing and helping other people with their writing. The downside is I got all MFA-y about my fiction, and haven't actually written a short story since I graduated six years ago. I have done quite a bit of poetry and managed to get some of it published. I don't know if this is because I got workshop brain and am working on not tripping over the space that now takes up in my head when I'm writing, or if I should have just done a poetry concentration to start with. Either way, I'm debating going to library school now. When in doubt get a masters degree is probably not the best way to live my life, but here I am doing it anyway.
Ah yes, this sounds like my story (:
I like library stuff, too! I used to work in one in undergrad.
I had to abandon the MFA teachings and mindset in order to embrace writing again..
I hope you can get there too!
Sometimes I write novels and other times poetry, so I understand the switching!
oh, hello there. i'm carol (i know my name here is different but that's what i go by on discord). i came here through the SRS daily thread, though i don't usually spend much time here. i run /combat_metal, which is cool. my dream vacation is probably just america, or something. i'm not very imaginative or cool, so yeah. lol
Hiii Carol! We hang out in discord all the time together and you make me laugh with your blend of sass and snark. It's good to see you posting over here to say Hi!!
Are you carol o saurus rex and I just totally never even knew this? O.o
ahhh hahaha
mein gott
Hiya.
I love the way you describe your feelings about turquoise. It's a beautiful choice.
Yikes, that sounds like a scary surgery to have had on your spine, and I'm sorry that you had to undergo it. You sound like such an amazingly educated, intelligent and well-informed individual! Nice to meet you. :D
Hi Pipsy! I think I've already joined your Shakespeare community. Thanks for setting that up! I was trying to explain Shakespeare's bawdy sense of humour over lunch just the other day. Prester John slang ('the length of his,' that is) even got a mention, never thought I'd work that into a conversation!
Hey @Twining_Ivy if you havent already joined /nice_cuppa_tea there are a ton of tea lovers over there. You can peek my tea stash too! I remember the way-back for the internet too I think(?) my first experience would have been the 90s my family was definitely one of the first ones in the area to have home internet... Thanks Very Geeky Dad! So I hear ya on the hope back then for the potential. Nice to learn a bit about you.
Do you have a favourite variety or blend of tea?
[Content deleted by author]
There is a variety of cold steeping Oolong osmanthus tea I am stuck on ATM. I picked it up in a tea shop in Taipei for a stupid sum, so now I watch over it like some endtimes prepper-hoarder. Will join, thanks for the group suggestion!
Yay for nerdy dads, too! I had a friend whose Air Force dad was showing me how to crack the write protects on C64 games. Oh 80s. I'm so showing my age. Whenever I'd visit this friend, her dad would try to pssst! Hush me into a dark room to show me his latest games.
Hmm. That looks super creepy when I see it written, ha.
That looks beautiful! I adore a nice Oolong tea.
I remember most of the 80s no worries haha ❤
And we totally had the C64 my very first computer that was mine all mine (read when Dad got bored and wanted something new) ran ms-dos and I get mad nostalgia for old programs as a result. Haha.
Your family sounds hilarious <3
I recently went through surgery and my brothers used dark humor to get us through it; hardly any outsiders understood! (:
How are you doing now?
Hey! I'm FireflyWaltz or Mira. :) I run a tiny niche community about the solarpunk genre and a rping experiment called THE VOID. Both of which I need to prod...
I have a dog named Cricket.
And I'm writing a book about a washed-up space wizard that I may someday finish, hah.
That book sounds RAD! You should share some with us (: (: (:
Right now it is embarrassing. @.@ First drafts are, well, you know when a potter throws a lump of clay on the wheel and then starts spinning?
First drafts are the lump.
:D
But here's the first couple sentences of the lump because I can't resist showing even lumps off:
Of all the folk in the pub, Guain was the tallest, and he was short for a human. He sat at the bar because the seats were taller and thus human-sized. Behind him dwarves huddled over mock-wood tables and grumbled together over tankards of craft beer. Behind them stars twinkled through tall, slit windows.
Guain stared down at his coffee sludge, which had required a bribe. The edge of the liquid twitched. That either meant his coffee was coming alive or that the mining station was on the move again. Or both.
I adore it! I often hate my first drafts too, but, it captures such a fun vibe already!
Tanks! :D
Hi, I'm Sseraeve! (Adj.: paranoid, shy, procrastinator from hell)
I was brought by /knkl, initially. But I became more and more interested because it's just so darn addicting! (For some reason I couldn't get reddit and I really couldn't get INTO tumblr....?)
I have two little spoiled monsters (cats),
MasterHunter andMissusMomo!I just started /learn_to_draw! That's it... so far.
Probably blue! (Why? Because everything's better in blue! Maybe.)
Some where with lots of yummy food! (e.g Food carts, I've never actually had one yet!)
Just kidding, not really a bonus. I like to play video games and
(fail)at drawing! But I really, really love to eat different foods! But I'm starting to learn how to cook those foods for myself! I'm a terrible cook, though, honestly. It's a huge work-in-progress.Hope I did this right.Hey Sseraeve! I'll be checking out /learn_to_draw for sure I'm always down for learning new tricks and better ways to do things. Have you visited /color_blue yet? Haha yes there is a community just for your favourite colour! Good to see another new face! Thanks for coming out of the lurking shadows to say Hi!
Thanks for saying hi! (I see you around a lot, so eeee! <3) I hope everyone can gather lots of information together! I'm not that great but I find a ton of resources!
And no, I haven't! Thanks for that! I'll check it out. :3
Don't know if you've answered this, but how long have you been ... doing art?
I've been artsy since I was a kid I come by it honestly though I guess since it was something my maternal Grandfather and my Dad were both interested in. I am mostly self taught though... Lots of doodles. Lots of self doubt. Over the past couple years I have been focusing more on improving and growing as an artist. Trying to challenge myself. It's been hard but rewarding and I still feel I'm mostly awful but I think that's normal. Hehe!
Now I feel bad. I saw your post right after I asked that. (Man, do you type fast!) That's really awesome, though!
I think the greatest artists go through the same thing! (I skimmed through your blog's art! Super awesome! (I'm totally dying over that octopus! I love it!)
Thank you for sharing! (Obviously I like yelling with my exclamation points! Because the period just doesn't do it for me!)
No worries I'm getting used to having the same conversation spread across communities heehee!!
I'm only a fast typer when my hands aren't bugging me I promise. Thank goodness for word suggestions on mobile.
I appreciate enthusiasm and excess exclamation points! Also thanks I love to draw Cephalopods teehee!
Yeah, I bet you have a notepad with a quick reply on there by now!
Oh, I'm jealous. I'm on the old toaster, I'm typing out everything. ;___;
I think they're super neato! I'd like to draw more if I had the chance to! (Maybe my next project, thanks!)
Oooh yes please draw cephalopods!
Hello, and welcome! (: I love cats! I'm trying to learn to draw - what a great community idea!
Come join!
Hi, and thanks! It turns out I love cats, too! Thanks, I'm trying to learn to get better! I hope it helps you if you decide to come check us out!
Hi, I'm Eeep (the e's vary!), as in Eep Opp Ork Ah-Ah from the Jetsons. See: https://youtu.be/U15rzqfSofo I came from somewhere on Reddit. I don't remember where. I've been on Imzy for a little while, but I mostly lurk. I generally self-filter myself to the point that all posting ideas seem pointless. I am okay with this most of the time.
I have an amusing daughter and I love being a parent. I like plants and gardening. I miss having a cat. I miss having room for a garden. I think fungi are really interesting and tasty and at some point I will collect and grow them!
I love video games, mostly rpgs. I like a lot of different styles of music but tend to gravitate around funk, indie/alternative, and punk. I've been playing guitar for a very long time though it is just to entertain myself, so I am not a virtuoso or anything. I mostly just play it so I can sing along.
I am a huge geek for golden age science fiction writing and movies. Really enjoy Heinlein, despite his flaws and I have a little A.E. Van Vogt collection wrapped up in plastic. I am out of touch with current fiction. I am also a huge nerd for zombie shows and movies. I think the Muppets are awesome.
One day, I just might make an Imzy community. Anyway, Hi. /shufflesbacktoLurkingandclickingHearts
Hi, EEEEEP!
I love cats (:
I heard there was a new muppet community on imzy!
Hello! I'm Kaitlyn! I'm relatively new around these parts. I like coffee, animals, attempting to not kill plants, Legos, Star Wars, being in the kitchen, and playing with yarn.
Hi Kaitlyn, we occasionally chat on discord. I once bought a used book on keeping houseplants alive, so you are not alone.
Oh hi! I remember you from chat! :) It's so hard, I'm terrible at not killing them. Somehow, I have things growing right now, and I'm not sure what I did entirely. But I added water to the pots, and I guess that was enough to make them grow.
